Woodleigh Bullets - re-opening ?

[spike.t]

Thanks Bob, I need to find the rifles before I look for bullets. Will take your suggestion under advisement.

Buy the bullets if available...rifles there are plenty....

Another one bites the dust-sad. All my reloading to date has been done with Woodleigh projectiles. Time to use others I suppose.

Hey Guys, I communicated directly with Woodleigh representative last week and he indicated that they were coming back on line in the future. No date as yet but it is good news for all of us. I was checking on any inventory that had survived the fire and they had nothing that I was looking for.
.375, .416 and .358

Mate, that old Bloke that built that company got up, dusted himself off and has plans to rebuild.
That is a fact, that is direct from Geoff McDonald.
A gunshop here told me they were finished when I was in store in April.
Geoff McDonald's response to me was don't listen to the B.S.

Lucky they are reopening and I have enough of those cals to see me through, except in Hydro's.

It seems at this point tha the title of this thread is causing confusion. It is my understanding that multiple members have verified that woodleigh intends to reopen.

Any chance we could get a name change on this thread?

So, let's see....people are foaming at the mouth to find reloading supplies, but Woodleight thinks there is no market?????

You didn’t get the content of the thread. They are reopening.

This thread was wrong when first published.

May I recommend the author kill it NOW and get with the real current status?

 

[WAB]

At least re-name it!

The rumour mill is still running hot.
I was in a gun shop and asked if they had any Woodleigh. He tells me can't get them they burned down. Yep, I knew that but I was looking for old stock.

A bit like the ammo shortage the U.S. has been going through for 2 years that look after affects NZ the Australia. I could see a pattern forming and the forum has some good info.

It's a good shop but he told me Woodleigh are not rebuilding as Geoff McDonald is 78y.o.

Not happy to accept what I'm told I emailed Woodleigh again. I expect he's not going to give up his life's work and they have a niche market.

I drafted a polite email and asked if any decision was public knowledge or is there something that I can add to the forum thread.

The response from Geoff included this. I quote

"Don’t believe some of the bull from gunshops. We are rebuilding, and making steady progress"

I've been using 7mm 140gn Woodleigh ppsp this last week with great success.

Long Live Woodleigh Bullets

I have about 400 Woodleigh 340 grain 416. bullets. What is a fair price on them?

I no longer shoot any 416 caliber.

Let me know the details and we'll sort it

Happy to horse trade etc as well if it suits

@Anthony George
Is the factory reopening?
What is the progress if they are?

Thanks

 

[Anthony George]

It's not my place nor my business what Woodleigh do

I try not to call them for trivial crap as they have enough to do and if they are answering the 100 calls a day asking silly Qs they are not running the machines

Woodliegh is a small family business with lucky to be 4-5 people if that

The factory never really shut, they had a small fire in the office that fire damaged some machines

It didn't burn down and no one perished

I just leave them alone as best possible, and let them do what they do

So in one post you say you’re a representative of Woodleigh and then in the next breath you say it’s none of your business. For clarity are you a representative of the Woodleigh company?
